Specification forming part vof Lettere Patent Noi 150,000, dated April21, 1874; application tiled December 10, 1873.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN D. DALE, of Elmira, in the county of Ohemungand State ot' New York, have invented an Improvement in a CigarMouth-Piece or Holder, of which the following is a specification:

My invention relates to cigar mouth-pieces or holders made of a materialthat will be elastic and pliable.

Figure 1 is a view showing mouth-piece or holder on a cigar. Fig. 2 is aperspective view of the same detached. Fig. 3 is a section ofmouth-piece.

I forni a mouthpiece or holder of the usual shape, of a material thatwill be elastic, such as india-rubber, with a ring or series of rings,arranged as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, either endless spiral or roughenedinside surface, which is intended to hold the cigar` from getting out.

The advantages are, that it will t any cigar, and hold it secure. Madeof indiarubber, it is sweeter, and will not retain the rank smellthat isusual to the ordinary holder, it is pleasant to the mouth, and can beturned inside out for cleaning; it being pliable and soft prevents itfrom injuring the teeth, which is of great importance to thel cigarconsumer.

I claim- As an article of manufacture, a cigar mouth piece or holderheld open at its narrow end by its annular form and expansibility, thewhole constructed of elastic or yielding ma teria-l, with the internalprojections or corru gations, whereby to impinge and securely hold thecigar, substantially as herein set forth.
